New York : John Doyle, 1833. Hardcover. Acceptable. Bound in publisher's cloth. Front hinge cracked. Hardcover. Foxing. 158, 68 pages. William Cobbett was an English pamphleteer, agriculturist, and MP. He campaigned for the interests of impoverished farm labourers and for the abolishment of the rotten borough system. He fled England after fearing his pro-reform polemics would result in his imprisonment and eventually came to Wilmington, Delaware and Philadelphia in 1793. In America he began writing pro-British screeds under the name of "Peter Porcupine". He later returned to England and continued his crusade for reform of the British system notably through his working-class oriented newspaper, the "Political Register." His outspokenness resulted in his imprisonment for 2 years in Newgate prison. In 1822 Cobbett wrote "Cottage economy," a guide for self-sufficiently written for working people. He later became an MP and worked against the Corn Laws and for the 1832 Reform Act. The second title in this work contains "The Poor Man's Friend".

Description:
Shrewsbury: Harris Edwards Publications. Very Good-. 1978. Reprint; First Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB . Light cover creases, some edge wear and cover scuffing. ; Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside. ; 208 pages; William Cobbett wrote Cottage Economy first published in 1821, with a twofold aim. First, to promote his personal philosophy of self-sufficiency, which he viewed as the foundation of family happiness. And second, to "instruct country laborers in the arts of brewing beer, making bread, keeping cows, pigs, bees, ewes, poultry, rabbits, and other matters. " Though nearly two centuries old, Cottage Economy has lost none of its relevance or inspiration for anyone in search of what Cobbett called "a good living" and deserves its reputation as the founding bible of self-sufficiency. .
